For example you create a circle with no fill and with outline, and remember that you choose bright color and your document must be in RGB color mode. After that create copy of circle and select both circles, remember that they both are center align and vary in sizes like one circle with 100px and another one is less in size and with different stroke size too like one circle with 1px stroke and another one is less thickness stroke and apply blending. you can choose steps according to visual then choose small circle by holding ctrl or command key and set transparency to 0, it gives you seamless transition effect.

Manipulation Art Manipulation video using Blending modes and masking in Adobe After Effects In this video, I use two different video clips. For merge environments I use black and white adjustment layer for both videos. Then I use masking for upper layer video which is boat video. Then I move mask anchor points frame by frame and I set blending mode to Luminosity. Finally I rendered video.
